A nun is a religious woman under solemn vows living a cloistered, contemplative life in a monastery. Their primary vocation is the service of God in the Divine Office, which can take up to six and half hours a day to sing properly, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Usually nuns do some other work which can be done in the monastery such as sewing vestments or altar linens, baking altar breads, etc. This is entirely different from a Sister who is a religious woman under perpetual or renewing vows, who lives in the world and usually teach, nurse, or assist in parishes. Confusingly, they are both addressed as "Sister" but have entirely different vocations, and are completely different under Canon law.
